PSNZ Council supports the care and protection of the natural environment
PSNZ would like to encourage members to read our suggestions on how you can minimise adverse effects on the environment. You can use or check for the following:
- Selection of photographic or art papers that are environmentally certified
- Choose accredited eco-label papers and boards or stock produced under environmental management systems
- Look for bio degradable inks e.g. vegetable based inks over mineral based inks
- Recycle materials – look for ways of recycling electronic waste
- Dispose of materials (e.g. cartridges, batteries etc.) in approved waste facilities
Other environmentally aware organisations
Did you know you can return old ink cartridges and toners to any branch of Warehouse Stationery in New Zealand? They are collected and reused.
